How SAS Is Making Agentic AI Real for Enterprises

Agents are here. Governance decides who wins.

I just published my interview with my friend Marinela Profi from SAS. Marinela breaks down agentic AI in a way leaders can use today. Clear. Practical. Actionable.

What we covered:

- What makes agentic AI different and why enterprises should care

- Autonomy levels, decisioning, orchestration, and the human-AI balance

- Where teams go wrong: hype vs readiness, data maturity, governance, and missing orchestration

- Real use cases on Viya across banking, insurance, and manufacturing

- Why “LLMs are not agents” and how to combine deterministic and probabilistic methods with governance

- What a CIO or CDO should do now to move from pilots to production

Marinela is sharp and grounded. She touched the important points and kept it real for enterprise teams.
